  2. Fourth Grade Expectations • This evening is to inform you of the expectations I have for your students. • Hopefully, it will answer questions that you may have about 4th grade. • Give insights on the curriculum. • Give us a chance to meet one another!

  3. Communication • I have signed our class up for a text message based communication tool called Remindhttps://www.remind.com/join/akgkkc • Text this number: 81010 • Type: @akgkkc • Then follow the prompts to sign up

  6. Assignment Notebook • Students should be writing all assignments in their assignment notebook. • You need to sign their notebook daily as well. • All assignments are written on the board • Students will get a stamp for expected behavior It is the student’s responsibility to make sure they have their notebook and write in it when time is given. Please remind your child to show me any note early in the day so I can reply to you by the end of the day. Sending a Remind message is much easier!

  7. Grades and Report Cards • Students will receive 4 official report cards (printed) a year. (Standards based) • Progress reports will not be printed on paper. You will need to visit the website www.teacherease.com • Graded papers being sent home daily are a great way to know how your student is doing in 4th grade. I review everything your child does !! • 4=Extends 3= Mastery • 2= Developing 1= Beginnning

  8. Standards Based Report Cards E= Extends: The student independently understands and applies the concept/skill beyond the grade level standard or in new situations. (Independently without adult help). M=Mastery: The student consistently "understands" and "applies" the concept/skill at the grade level standard which is the year end goal for our students. D=Developing: The student is making progress towards understanding and application of the concept/skill at the grade level standard. B=Beginning: The student does not yet demonstrate understanding of the concept/skill at the grade level standard for this reporting period.

  9. Homework • If students do not turn in their homework completed, they will receive an incomplete work slip for that assignment. An after school missing work session will be assigned for the next school day. • Each period students will receive a “Slide” in which case they can turn their work in the next day for full credit. • Missing Work Sessions will be given for the assignments that they do not complete. • Missing work completed in the session can receive no higher than an 80%. • Please remember all rides must arranged. • Most work to be done at your home is work not completed in school and homework should not total more than one hour. If it is more, your child is not using time wisely.

  10. Homework Help • Guide them through it if needed. • Establish Routines: Where will the homework be done and when? How will it get into the backpack? • Check their assignment notebook nightly for homework. Please sign the notebook. • Please look over graded homework that comes home. Do not remove papers from the folder if they are note graded or marked with a “T” for together.

  13. Math (Con’t.) • Bridges math curriculum is developed with the belief that students do not learn a new concept or skill the first time they experience it. • Math concepts are more fully understood after repeated and varied experiences. • Each grade level builds on these math concepts. • By the end of the year students should master Division in Xtra Math • We will also be using Moby Max
